Description
Chemosphere is an international journal designed for the publication of original communications as well as review
articles. Chemosphere, as a multidisciplinary journal, offers maximum dissemination of investigations related to all aspects of environmental
science. Chemosphere will publish:
• Original communications describing important new discoveries or further developments in
important fields of investigation related to the environment and human health
• Reviews, mainly of new developing areas of environmental
science
• Special, themed issues on relevant topics.
The following sections and subject fields are included:
Persistent
Organic Pollutants and Dioxins
This section is devoted to all scientific aspects of persistent organic pollutants, including
monitoring studies in the environment, ecosystem, and people; environmental chemistry; toxicology; epidemiologic investigations; risk
assessment; and processes that generate these pollutants and measures to reduce their emissions or concentrations in the environment.
Organic pollutants targeted in this section can be of natural or synthetic origin but must be persistent in the environment or in organisms.
Although the term "persistent" is somewhat subjective, with such definition, halogenated organic chemicals are of primary interest. Only
studies that are of significance to an international audience and include a statistically representative population, sites of particular
global interest, or lend themselves to interpretation at the global level should be submitted.
Environmental Chemistry
This section will publish manuscripts dealing with fundamental processes in the environment that are related to dispersion, degradation
and alteration of inorganic and organic contaminants of environmental concern focussed on the dynamics of contaminants in environmental
compartments such as water, soil/sediment, and air and their interactions with biosphere. Specific topics of interest include:
•
Environmental fate studies including transport, biodegradation, bio-accumulation and/or deposition as well as atmospheric (photo)chemical
processes, hydrolysis, adsorption/desorption
• Soil and water chemistry focussed on interaction, degradation and speciation
aspects of environmental contaminants
• Novel environmental analytical methods including case studies
• Phytoremediation
employing new strategies, findings or interpretations of general interest
• Development and application of environmental modelling
and quantitative structure-activity relationships to study fate and environmental dynamics
• Monitoring studies presenting new
strategies, report of novel contaminants, findings or interpretations of general interest for an international readership. Monitoring
studies based on standard methodology, and of regional importance, are not considered. Studies dealing only with nutrients in agricultural
ecosystems are not considered.
Environmental Toxicology and Risk Assessment
The Section on Environmental Toxicology and
Risk Assessment covers all aspects of toxicology, i.e., the science of adverse effects of chemicals on living organisms, and the scientific
assessment of the risk that such adverse effects may occur.
Issues that would be appropriate for consideration include:
•
Adverse effects of chemicals in environmental, aquatic and terrestrial, organisms
• Similar studies in experimental organisms
(under laboratory conditions)
• Epidemiological studies on effects of chemicals in humans
• Biochemical studies related
to mechanisms of adverse effects
• Toxicokinetics and metabolic studies on chemicals related to adverse effects
• Development
and validation of testing methods based on living organisms or biological materials
• Biomonitoring of chemicals related to
adverse effects
• Occupational chemical hazards and exposure.
Not considered are, e.g., studies which report only concentrations
of chemicals in the environment, living organisms, food, other materials etc., or on techniques of remediation of environmental pollution,
or on biochemical effects of chemicals non-relevant to toxicology.
